YALit: Girl in a Cage: Importance of Being Earnest

Girl in a Cage: Importance of Being Earnest—I gush over Donorboy and then the author of the book writes a blog entry questioning the value of authenticity and earnestness. Now what am I supposed to do? Granted he finally decides that sometimes earnestness is okay, but I just couldn’t help but feel that the author is just out to make me sad. I so loved that book for its authenticity, and here the author is telling me that authenticity isn’t where it’s at. Brendan, can’t you rethink? Please?
